Which includes:

Before the word there was the image.

Behind the word there is the image.

Between and within the words are images; between and within the images now are words.

Before the word there was one image. The one image expanded and accelerated and formed many images. Images were teeming and seething with images. Time and space were born and became one.

Before the word many images contracted and formed images of worlds and worlds of images. Time and space were teeming and seething with images.

Announcing the gallery exhibit water visions: close writings

In 1970, bpNichol published the concrete poetry masterwork still water and won the Governor General's Award.
In 1990, stuart pid responded by rewriting the entire book as distilled water, the key work in launching the IZEN imprint.
In 2000, paloin biloid rerewrote the book as water detail, beginning his own exploration of allusion in concrete poetry in the water works series.
In 2005, Geof Huth rererewrote the book as water vapour, adding new colours in the process.  
 
The 44 years of concrete creativity in these books are being celebrated with an exhibit featuring all four books in Gallery 1879, located in the lobby of Stuart's Opera House at 52 Public Square in historic Nelsonville in southeast Ohio.  
 
The exhibit will also include Dan Waber's essay on all four books, originally published in _Open Letter_, and an encore presentation of prints from The Last Vispo Anthology:  Visual Poetry 1998-2008.
